Colonel Maxwell signs the first Pay
Reservation Application for War Bonds
at Tyndall Field as Post War Bonds Of-
ricer Lt. Garrett C. Rush looks on.

War Bonds Campaign and has set 100%
participation in the Pay Reservation
Plan as his goal. Consult with your
squadron Bond Agent or Lt. Rush on all
questions concerning the Bonds.

The promotion of Lieutenant Colonel
Clifford J. Moore, Tyndall Field Quar-
termaster, to the rank of full colonel
was announced by the Adjutant General,
Washington D.C., on Thursday.
Colonel Moore has held his present
position at Tyndall since June 20,
1941, and came here from Ft. Jay, N.Y.
The Quartermaster enlisted in the
Army as a private in 1914 and has been
in the service continuously since that
date. He has held responsible pos-
itions at numerous posts throughout
the country, and as construction quar-
,termaster at Maxwell Field, he built
the first hanger on that Field.
The Colonel served in the Philippine
Islands from 1914 to 1917 and again
from 1929 to 1932, and was in France
from 1918 to 1919. He was on tempor-
ary duty in Shanghai, China, when that
city was bombed by the Japs in 1931.

LEGAL CLINIC ESTABLISHED
A Legal Clinic, for the purpose of
aiding Tyndall Field personnel in the
solution of their legal problems, has
been established under the supervision
of the Post Courts and Boards Officer.
There will be no charges for ser-
vices rendered by this group and all
military personnel are urged to take
advantage of its facilities. As pre-
viously stated, the primary purpose
of the clinic is to advise and aid the
soldier on any legal problem.
Appointments can be made by report-
ing to the Courts and Boards Officer,
Lt. Gabriel Powers, at Post Head-
quarters.

THOUGHTS FROM HERE AND THERE

From an interview of General William Booth, by Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman:

"General Booth," said the American visitor, "tell me what has been the secret
of your success?"

The General hesitated a second. Then tears came into his eyes, as he replied:
"I will tell you the secret. God has had all there was of me. There have been
men with greater brains than I, men with greater opportunities. But from the day
I got the poor of London on my heart and caught the vision of what Jesus Christ
could do with them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of
William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army
today, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of
my will, and all the influence of my life."

"I learned from William Booth that the greatness of a man's power is his
measure of surrender." Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman.
Chaplain Herbert Wilson

Tyndall Field, Florida

PVT. ZENOBY CAME TO TYNDALL
Private Roger R. Zenoby arrived at
Tyndall Field last Saturday afternoon
at 4:30 P.M. He had just been trans-
ferred from Keesler Field, Miss., un-
assigned.
Twenty-eight hours after his arrival
at Tyndall Field, Pvt. Zenoby found
himself at the opposite end of the
country, ready to report for Glider
Pilot Training on Monday morning
Pvt. Zenoby arrived at Tyndall un-
assigned, but within 2 hours and 7
minutes he had been processed through
the classification department, had un-
dergone a thorough physical examin-
ation, was designated and assigned for
training as a Glider Pilot, watched
his name being printed on a Special
Order form, was issued a transfer and
departed from the Field
The speed with which the hundreds of
details were taken care of is proof of
the ability of Tyndall's departmental
heads to cope with any emergency.

QUIZ SHOW VICTORS CHALLENGED
The seventh edition of Tyndall's
"Thirst for Knowledge" radio quiz-bee
promises to exceed the previous ses-
sions in both entertainment and com-
petition as last week's winners from
the Weather Detachment take on the
Challengers, a sharp-witted duo from
Captain Roy Gardner's Squadron.
Lt. Colonel Daniel W. Jenkins of the
Department of Training, has been invi-
ted to be the guest speaker for the
evening. Warrant Officer Robert Lank-
ford, by popular demand, will continue
as quiz-master for the show.
The Weather Detachment will be rep-
resented by Pvt. Morris Lasker and Pvt.
Chris Taylor. (Cpl. Vaughn Ausman, a
regular member of the Weather team, is
off on furlough). Corporal Olivur
Burkhart and Pvt. Jack Hetherington
will do battle for the challengers.
The program will be broadcast from
the USO Building over Station WDLP on
Monday night at 7:30 P.M.

TECHNICAL SERGEANT THOMPSON

The chief of Tyndall Field's Photo-
graphic Section, Technical Sergeant
Robert E. Thompson, has served more
than seven years in the Army, most of
which time has been spent in photogra-
phic work.
The sergeant has had the unusual ex-
perience of spending more than half of
his enlistment time on war maneuvers,
working under simulated war conditions.
Despite the fact that he enlisted on
"Friday the thirteenth" (September 13,
1934) the sergeant has found his ex-
perience in the Army to have been both
profitable and pleasant.
After spending one year in the In-
fantry at Ft. Meade, Md., Sgt. Thomp-
son transferred to the Air Corps and
was stationed at Langley Field, Va. for
five years. At Craig Field, Ala., he
served as commander of the guard and
also as' first sergeant of a school
squadron. In 1937, he completed cour-
ses at both Lowry and Chanute Fields.

NEW BAND ARRIVES
Good news for Tyndall's marching men
comes with the announcement that a 28
piece band has arrived from Maxwell
Field to become a permanent unit here.
Tyndall's new musical organization
is under the direction of T/Sgt. Wil-
iam J. doultrap and S/Sgt. Wilfred H.
Stoner. These two men, Army veterans
of 14 years, have been stationed at
Maxwell Field since October for the
purpose of forming and training a band
for Tyndall Field.

-- CAPTAIN BRYAN
CAPTAIN BRYAN

The commanding officer of the vital-
ly important Tyndall Field Sub-Depot
is Captain Loren A. Bryan, who is re-
sponsible for the supply, maintenance
and repair of all things, either di-
rectly or indirectly pertaining to the
Field's aircraft.
The Sub-Depot commander has had wide
civilian experience in the type of
work he is now doing. For two and a
half years before he was called to
active duty in the Army, Captain Bryan
was chief purchasing agent for the
Vultee Aircraft Corp., now the largest
producers of aircraft in the country.
* Captain Bryan is a native of Iowa,
and attended Iowa State College at
Ames, Iowa, where he specialized in
architectural engineering.
The Captain was called into active
duty from the Field Artillery Reserve
on April 1, 1941, and was stationed in
the Materiel Division, Wright Field,
until he came to Tyndall on Sept. 16th.

FLAG WEEK TO BE OBSERVED
Arrangements have been made by auth-
orities at Tyndall Field to organize
two provisional squadrons of 100 men
each to participate in the Flag Day
Parade planned for Monday. Tyndall's
new band will make their first public
appearance for the occasion.
The Panama City Pilot Club has invi-
ted Captain Aminon McClellan to be the
guest speaker on their Wednesday night
Flag Day program at the Band Shell in
the City Park. (8t00 P.M.)

The time has been set for 3:00 P.M.,
Sunday afternoon. The place will be
the Panama City Ball Park. The occa-
sion? The first Tyndall Field team to
take on outside competition, the 846th
"Big Nine", will meet the undefeated
Panama City Giants in what promises to
be a thrilling baseball tussle.
The boys of the colored Quartermas-
ter unit have been looking forward to
this game for several weeks and their
captain, Cpl. Pruitt, expressed the
general feeling when he said, "We are
going to give them everything we've
got on Sunday."

lowing line-up for tomorrow's game:

Softball activities for the past two
weeks have been rather light due to
the over abundance of liquid sunshine
and only two games were played this
week. Lt. Blackwell's boys trounced
the Quartermaster nine in a 13-1 route.
The other contest was a convincing
victory by Headquarters over Lt. Schr-
ock's ball club. The Pencil Pushers
won in a walk-away, 10-2.

"How would you like for me to meet you
in your dreams tonight?" asked the
girl of the boy. And the boy said,
"Half-wayl"

Private Jones had volunteered for a
special job, and was being interviewed
by the Colonel.
"Have you the firmness of character
that enables a man to go on and so do
his duty in the face of ingratitude,
criticism, and ridicule?," asked the
Colonel.
"Well," said Billikins, "I was t cook
all through the last war."

"That new shavetail is a man of few
words."
"Who told you that?"
"He did-----for three hours."

"What kind of dress did Betty wear at
the party last night?"
"I don't remember. I think it was
checked."
"Boyl That must have been a real
party." (TULANE HULLABALOO)
